ANY PROBLEMS WÝTH THE fs2 video files 10 sec from the start(each of them) then freezes... no codec problem ithink divx is ok.

keep the goodwork

If they work fine in Media Player post your question in the Source Code Project forum cause it's a bug in FS2_open and needs looking at.

If they only play for a couple of seconds and then stop in media player then I suspect you have Divx 5.02. The movies were encoded using Divx 5.05 and that's exactly the behaviour you see if you're using an outdated codec.

thanx for the tip never cared about the  5.0.? of the codec. it all works fine now thnx if any thing i can help i would be willing to help you

i don't know about bittorrent server-side and i dont have the package fractux is serving. but bittorrent itself is kinda easy. you just select a folder/directory or zip/rar file and bittorrent will make a hash-file of it (~20KB). Now other people only download that file and the bittorrent-app of the first user will act as a hub/server/seed. download starts from the first seeder. As soon as some chunks/parts are downloaded by other bittorrent users that users become a server too. The more people, the more the bandwith is averaged over the various users. And i've seen it, it generally comes down to downloading at your max cable/adsl speed :-) when the chunks fly in from all over the net.

So, at least one person has to offer the complete package to start it, and the torrent file needs to be hosted on a tracker.

Stick around and become a productive member of the community. I don't care if it's just ideas, models or missions. That's thanks enough

Server is back up. [give it a couple of minutes to update]

Start leeching.



Cheers!

What FTP program are you using? Did you enable Passive FTP?

I am using the build in FTP program of the file manager called Total Commander (way better than anything Macrofracture came up with).

And it is set to passive mode (look at the screenshot I attached).
As session I have filled in "fs2 download."
The rest is the same as in the screenshot.

Ok, maybe I should use Filezilla... Or maybe it is the network I am attached to...

[Fractux]

Well Give filezilla a try, and if you still can't get through check that your firewall isn't blocking traffic through port 21.

[MLeoDaalder]

Wheee!

I managed to get in!
So it was my firewall (I am still figuring why, it isn't blocked).

But I do get 2.3kb/s...
Well the important thing is that I can download this now!

[Singh]

hmmmmm.....keep getting timeouts and can never get past the initial directory listings, why is that?

[MLeoDaalder]

What are you using?

[Singh]

filezilla

[Genoism]

any updates on when the whole thing will be uploaded? That is i mean the fs2 ~800 mb file, or still having trouble finding a place to upload? I may have a place you may be able to upload but i would have to check it out in detail first.

[Singh]

ok....im still timing out.....any ideas why?

[Fractux]

Singh, first a list of questions for you.

Have you enabled passive ftp?
Have you disabled Multiple connections?
Are you connecting to the right port? (6969)

If it's not that, can you post the exact message filezilla is giving you?

[tr909]

Also use suggested password (1234) I logged on last week succesfully to get sparky_hi, so the ftp works :-)
